We were fortunate to have Sheree as our tour guide. She was full of interesting information and upbeat enthusiasm despite the pouring rain. She gave us plenty of time for questions and she answered them fully. Sheree turned a dismal day on Beale Street into a bright and positive expedition.

Shay (sp?) did a great job of familiarizing us with parts of Beale Street that were not highlighted on other tours. It was nice to have such a private, personal tour with someone so knowledgeable about the history of Beale Street.

Although I have been on Beale street many times I wanted to learn more about its history. This tour was filled with history about Beale street and the people that made it. If you want to learn about Beale street this is the way to go.
